If you have a TV in the room, make sure there's no glare on the screen from any of the lights. This can be controlled by placing a table or desk lamp next to or behind the TV.

Finally, on the day that you are entertaining guests, use only your lamps and spotlights and perhaps light a few candles in the room to create added intimacy. The ceiling light should remain switched off.

It is also important for you to know the exact height of the living room where you wish to install the crystal chandelier. The chandelier must not exceed 30 inches above your head. Also ensure not to hang the chandelier too high for it may look dwarfed. Another thing that you need to consider while choosing the crystal chandelier is that you need to go for a one which is about 20%-30% of the width of the living room.
